A Worthless Provision,

In discussing the ordinance: giving
the CONSOLIDATED street railway COM
pany a street franchise, Alderman
Bookhout said that the provision in the
ordinance to grade the streets would
prove worthless-it would not hold
water, and the result would be that
the street railway would get a fran
chise and the city would get nothing,
consequently the ordinance did not
pass.

WEDDING INVITATIONS.

Why They Should he Extended Only to
the Most Intimate Friends.
The whole difficulty about wedding
etiquette and the difference of opinion
that exists on so many points is the re-
suit of the false and loose methods and
the hollow mockeries and shams into
which people have been drifting for
several years. Weddings which were
once the most charming, as well as the
most beautiful of social events incident
al to the home life. have been allowed
to become to a great extent mere spec
tacles for the exhibition of vanity. The
bride commissions some one to look
after her dresses. the bridegroom ap-
points some one to hire carriages, en-
ploy clergymen, etc., and the brides
family puts the whole arrangement of
the house, the church, the feast. etc.,
in the hands of some caterer or decor
ator. The getting up of the invitations
is given to an expert in such
matters in some shop, and very
often the invitations are sent out
Wholesale by some one who is
employed for the purpose. People
are invited to 60 or not, as they feel
inclined, and go to shops and order
presents sent in the most perfunctory
way, so that bride is as likely as not
to get twenty vases, or dozen lamps,
or fifty spoons of different patterns.
Where presents are sent. they should,
if possible be sent early. so as to give
the bride-elect plenty of time to ac-
knowledge them; and if worth sending
at all. they deserve that some time and
care should be given to their selection.
1t is common thing to hear brides say
that. of all their wedding presents. they
appreciate and value most the few ap-
propriate and often inexpensive things
that come from their intimate friends.
1t should not be forgotten that a
wedding is the first. choicest, and most
important of all social incidents, and
that an invitation to one is one of the
greatest compliments that can be con-
ferred. Invitations to balls, dinners
and parties may be perfunctory. mean
ingless, but almost without exception
it is only friends or acquaintances who
are honored. who are invited to
wedding. and a point should always be
strained to make some sort OF acknowl-
edgment. - Philadelphia Times.

FUNNY FLAMINooEs.

How They Amused Themselves ut the
Old Play OF skipping the Rope.
They're funny fellows, / can tell
you," the captain declared. II met a
man down the coast who told me that
once when he was huutin' on the
Florida lowlands he came upon .
whole colony of fiamingoes among the
mangroye trees. He watched their
antics for some time--some standin'
on one leg, some with their long necks
in all sorts of curious positions. some
stalking up and down as solemn as
parsons-and he thought it wouldn't
be bad idea to play joke on them.
80 he took a fsh-line. and when
the birds flew away he fastened one
end of the line to the root of tree
and climbed with the other end up into
another tree.
Before long the birds came back.
and then the fun began. As soon as
one or two stepped across the line, the
man in the tree gave it pull, and the
fiamingoes began hoppin' and trippin'
and daucin' about, now fallin' down,
now jumpin' across and really seemin'
to enjoy it immensely. He actually
had 'cm all a-skippin' rope. and there's
no tellin' how long they'd "a kept it
up il it hadn't been so very funny that
my friend couldn't help laughin' out
loud; that frightened them OF That
may seem rather brisk story" said

LOSS OF MEMORY.
One of the Worst Features In Cases ol
This Kind.

One of the Worst Features In Cases OF
This Kind.
The loss of m,mory in the aged is a
familiar example, says DR.. NJ. L. Hol-
brook, and can only be accounted for
by deterioration of the brain elements
and diminution of blood supplied to
them. One of the worst features of
such cases is the fact that an old per-
son is not, for long time after decay
has begun, aware of it. am now treat
ing a case of loss of memory in a per-
SON advanced in years. who did not
know that his memory had failed most
remarkably till | told him of it. He is
making vigorous effort to bring it back
again. and with partial success.
The method pursued is to spend two
hours daily, one in the morning and
one in the evening, in exercising this
faculty. The patient is instructed to
give the closest attention to all that he
learns. so that it shall be impressed on
his mind clearly. He is asked to recall
every evening all the facts and expert
ences of the day and again the next
morning. Every name heard is written
down and impressed on his mind clear
ly. and an effort made to recall it at iu-
tervals. Ten names from public men
are ordered to be committed from
memory every week A verse ofpoet-
ry is to be learned. also a verse from
the Bible, daily. He is asked to remem-
Der the number of the pagein any book
where any interesting fact is recorded.
These and other methods are slowly
resuscitating failing memory.-Bos-
